hi all, having recently purchased a FORD car for the first time i've been having problems with the badges and the colourations.

having looked at various other ford cars ive seen on the road i notice this is a common problem, what happens is the colour comes out of the badge to reveal a not very good looking silver/grey underneath which really stands out and doesnt look too good,

is their a common solution that i can use to seal the colour in? i have had to replace both the front and rear badges and ive only had the car about 2 months, the badges if bought on ebay cost around £6-7 ($11) and if bought direct from ford cost around £9 ($16)

I went through this process a while back and resolved to use the sticky back ones, because my falcon will only see sunlight on the odd weekend. There are enameled versions that cost more and should hold up better to the rays.

you cant just take the badge off on my car, where the badge goes is indented so when you take the badge off it is obvious what you have done.

on the front its not so bad cos u can put and size badge on to cover up the indentation and it looks goods, but on the pack it sits in a hole the shape of the badge so you need exactly the same sized badge

oh well just going to have to by another badge, luckily theres a set of four badges on ebay, just to keep some as spares

Look on the bright side, it could have been a Focus or new Modeo you have, in which case, the front badges form a cover for a bonnet lock (to replace the old 'tried and tested' red bonnet pull that your Ka has!)....And at a guess, I'd say these were much more expensive!
